Hey everyone,

I have my 07 R/T with the R&T Package and i am in desperate need of some extra power, I have done the Flashpaq replaced the "Suitcases" with Flowmater 40 Series and did the K&N intake kit. I thought about the ZEX kit but i am hesitant because i really dont want to have to deal with filling the bottle.... I am looking for some moderate gains i thought about the SC kit but to be honest i dont want to pay the 7k and have a "High chance" to pop my motor. I just hit 7k miles and i am in need of more power.
Any suggestions?

Just give it time and the vendors will adapt their products for the later models. I had to wait about a year and a half for parts to become available for my 06, I'm sure your wait will not be that long.

Although unable to mod because I am short cash right now, a good cheap mod i recently did was a change to the 180 t-stat and no esp coolit mod. I'm sure you'll like these once completed.

I would be surprised if headers are not available. That's a good place to start for HP mods.

Just a word of advice - DO NOT jump on the first thing you see for your particular car. Give it some time and do your research. I jumped on about the first exhaust system that came out for the 06 R/Ts and wish I had waited a bit. I got the Magnaflow and now have the dreaded "Hemi Drone". I can live with it, but Magnaflow is unwilling to even talk much about it, let alone, do anything about it. So take your time and make sure you get what you really want.

Amen to that brother. If you haven't done so already, you might want to take a weekend and read this forum from beginning to present to get a good feel of what works and what doesn't. Lots of knowledgeable and experienced people out here and they are real good at sharing their experiences. A lot of the earlier stuff still works for the newer models but it takes time to update catalogs.

Enjoy your ride and remember, there's always one more thing out there to make you go faster.

I say till almost everything that is available for the 07's will be around in 4-7months. And with the hemi motors if want cheap HP just slap on a 50shot of nitrous. And I think the biggest bottle is what 15-20lb's with a 50shot that size bottle will last a while if you don't use it that often. And if you go nitrous get better rubber with the stock 07 R/T rim's you should be able to go 1 size wider then stock to 255's. But some say those are still to skinny, a buddy of mine who has minor bolt-on's plus a 75shot of nitrous with 265's out back he still spins abit of the line. But he just added headers, with full exhaust with high flow cats, dynoed at alittle over 400HP and spins those 265's like they are bald his best 60' is a 2.0 with that setup and tires. But in the spring he is changing out the brakes and putting on 285's

I wish I would of waited on getting the car itself! I didn't do my research so all I got was a regular R/T, if I would of known about the R/T with R/T package or the Daytonas I would of gotten that, as far as performance parts, I'm doing plenty of researching. Go with what fits your buget, so far all I got is a K&N CAI, I plan to get a Corsa exhaust. And for cosmetics, I have a Daytona style grille I replaced for that chrome one, I changed the chrome R/T for the old school red R/T on the trunk deck, and my center console, I got it leather padded with personalized embroidering. It says R/T and across it it says CHARGER
